Operations
Sky Angel operates a variety of faith and family television services—CEO Rob Johnson described its lineup as "programming that the entire family can enjoy together." The company's corporate headquarters is located in Naples, Florida. The company also has a Cleveland, Tennessee location where engineering and network operations reside and an Ooltewah, TN location where programming and customer service is handled.
Sky Angel was originally established as a direct-broadcast satellite service with more than 30 channels in its lineup. In 2008, Sky Angel announced that it would begin to phase out its satellite services in favor of transitioning its customers to a new IPTV-based service. Developed with hardware and software from NeuLion, the new service would offer additional features such as an increased channel capacity, support for DVRs, and the ability for Sky Angel to offer internet and mobile television services through the platform.
In the summer of 2012 Sky Angel upgraded its TV platform to offer new features such as channel rewind of live programming and adaptive streaming to increase the quality of the picture and improve the viewer experience. They also launched an international service available exclusively online by logging into the Sky Angel Website called Sky Angel WebTV. In 2012, Sky Angel launched an additional online streaming service for iPad customers across the globe. Together the iPad and WebTV services are known as Sky Angel Faith Everywhere.

Famous quotes containing the word operations:
“It may seem strange that any road through such a wilderness should be passable, even in winter, when the snow is three or four feet deep, but at that season, wherever lumbering operations are actively carried on, teams are continually passing on the single track, and it becomes as smooth almost as a railway.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Plot, rules, nor even poetry, are not half so great beauties in tragedy or comedy as a just imitation of nature, of character, of the passions and their operations in diversified situations.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
“You can’t have operations without screams. Pain and the knife—they’re inseparable.”
—Jean Scott Rogers. Robert Day. Mr. Blount (Frank Pettingell)
